Party Inspiration Board No. 3 - Vintage Wheels

Dum.Dum.Dum.

I know the suspense has been building!
{smile}
Now to reveal the boys'

2nd birthday party theme...

VINTAGE WHEELS

{celebrating our boys' love of anything with wheels}

I admit this one took a bit. 

I wanted to again personalize the party

for each of my boys,

but also have it all tie in together,

while I can get away with it.  


The textures and materials
I will be mixing in are...

wood, metal, burlap, chalkboard, and kraft paper

Aside from the color of these materials,
I will be adding in navy, aqua, red, and antique white accents.

Take a look at this inspiration board.

It makes me excited!!

Now less than 10 days to pull it off!

Party Inspiration Board No.2 - A Girl and Her Frog

Ready for more celebration eye-candy?!

I was honored when  Jamie at The Letter 4 

contacted me about creating an inspiration board for her 

daughter, Sabrina's, 1st birthday!!!

First, I think the lovely sisters at The Letter 4

have approached their blog

in such a unique, fresh, and smart way!!

When I first happened upon it, I just loved it!!!
They just have it!

I was also excited to work on a

birthday party for a 

GIRL!

Jamie answered some questions for me, 

and explained that Muppets was the underlying theme and
Sabrina was just

in love

with her Kermit. 

It got me to thinking about the concept...

a girl and her frog.

Fun right?!

I could just picture a silhouette of a

girl and a little frog next to her.

So sweet.

We all remember that one
first stuffed animal friend our little one
took everywhere.  


This is such a special way to give
a nod to that and include more whimsy, girly details,
and some Muppets fun.  

Take a look the inspiration board I compiled...

MUPPETS

 Jamie shared her puppet theater at Someday Crafts
earlier this week,
and included a picture of Miss Sabrina,
in her little theater
adorable!!!
She did an awesome job!!  

I will be sharing more projects
from Sabrina's party,
and am so enjoying working with Jamie!!

Up next, the boys' party theme revealed!!

I truly believe it's easy to throw an amazing, lavish bash

when money is no object.
On a tight budget like we both are,
you can still do it
with thoughtful planning and research.
{The reason I started Little Marvels Designs}

More birthday fun to come!!
